I think it's interessting, that Urahara not only knows the Quincies techniques, but even the names they use.
How did he learn those?

Even better question, where'd he get/find the mini computer that he was using to talk to Ichigo in the first place?

Overall, still a good chapter I think. If anything though, it's stalling a lot of the fighting that I thought we'd get to see...who knows, Kubo might be just trying to stall time so its believable that the captains who have been robbed are defeated to give the screentime to the lesser used captains. I just want to see more Badass Quincy arrows/bows. If there's one thing that's cool about this arc, it's the different bows/arrows we get to see (the first guy that attacked ichigo was a nice change to say...Uryu's bow, which barely changes)

What kind of pussies are these Quincies - afraid of just one guy with Bankai that they cannot steal, really? They just lost any respect I had for them.

On the bright side, I hope we see a pissed off Urahara soon. He won't let go of someone trolling him - the King of trolls

I lost respect for every single character out there -_-
Just WTF?! "Ichigo is coming, he'll save us!"
Kubo's power levels are so ridiculous that I can't stand it anymore. Just fire whole SS and let Ichigo rule since he clearly is much stronger than thousands of experienced shinigami, 13 vice captains and 13 captains that have experience of centuries while Ichigo only of few years.
So retarded! Whoever calls it the best show ever MUST be a 5 year old child in mind.

To be fair, if Ichigo could teach all the Shinigami how to utilize their Bankai as he does, then the Quincys blitzkrieg campaign would be meaningless (this of course depends on just how Ichigo's Bankai is not affected by the Quincy's little metal thingies). Added to that, it is unclear why the Bankai are being targeted (beyond the pure psychological affect as well as the simple raw power the Bankai represents), so any unaffected Bankai must be treated with extreme caution.

I think it would be better if Kenpachi taught them how to fight without their Bankai That would be the perfect way to deal with these Quincies.

Surely the Quincies haven't got their panties in a twist just because of one Bankai. I think the bigger threat to their invasion comes from Mayuri and Urahara since they can find a way to counter their Bankai stealing technique.

Bankais are targeted because they are the enemies' strongest weapon and it has been shown that they are able to handle everything short of bankai. I would guess that their powers are generally equivalent to bankai-ed captains or slightly weaker so that they can't win without this.

How they got a weapon that specifically steals bankai and not the blade in general or shikai is another issue.

On the other hand, where is Kanpachi? I would expect him to be able to deal with at least one of the invaders.

^And I'm saying I hope the 'theft' is more than a psychological ploy or simply limiting the powers of the Shinigami. I want the theft to serve a purpose grander than a simple military tactic. (I'm not sure what I want them to use the Bankai for...Maybe you can make another Key with the power?)
